Love how straightforward this video is - a lot of the other recipes take 10-20 minutes to explain what this one does in a minute!

Thanks for the tips. For me, the milder and smoother the vinegar the better. Cane vinegar and palm vinegar(tuba) are the best. Strong flavored vinegars ruins it for me.

Marinate pork and chicken with salt.
Half cook pork and chicken, add crushed garlic and black pepper.
Saute for a couple of minutes then add little amount of water.
Boil until pork gets tender with bay leaf, add bits of water as needed.
Add adequate amounts of soy sauce and sugar, boil for a couple of minutes.
Add adequate amount of vinegar, dont stir for 3-5 minutes.
Stir again and season according to taste.

i am planning on making this. Question. What if i want my dish to have more "sabaw"? Do i double the soy sauce and vinegar with the said recipe for 1/2 kg pork and chicken or not? Can i also marinate it overnight?

Mas mabuti yata i prito ang karne ng walang bawang upang hindi masunog at magiwan ng mapait na lasa ang sunog na bawang.
